Hi, I'm new here and hope I'm posting in the right place.
I've had HA for years now and I have suffered from headaches and dizziness as a result of my anxieties for ages. But recently (around 2 years) I developed a strange sensation in my eyes wherein they would 'pulsate' and jump around if I looked to the left or right. It would go away for a few months then come back and it never really seemed to correlate with my bouts of HA.
Recently (last month) I have had these jerky pulsating eye movements everyday
Whether I am looking left or right or straight on. My eyes jump around and see like they won't stay put looking at any one thing, i also feel as though my vision is deteriorating slightly- blurry, harder to read. I have also had a lot if dizziness that seems to be in my head (not psychological, the dizziness actually feels like it's coming from my head) I have also had daily headaches that seem to get worse when I bend over. I've been to see two opticians who both did extra tests to look for any tumours and they both said the pressure in my eyes is normal and my peripheral vision is fine- healthy eyes. My gp suggested that if there was nothing wrong with my eyes it's likely to be neurological and he's sending me for an mri scan on Sunday! I'm so so so panicked about the results and convinced I have a tumour.
Has anyone else had similar symptoms??
Thank u xx
